Chapter 5
Throughout the chapter, Steinbeck informs the readers about what is going on with the farmers. I have a lot of sympathy towards the farmers and their unfortunate situation. Imagine you and your family being in that position. Do any of you have sympathy for their situation or have ever experienced something similar to this? Also, is "the bank" really to blame for this?

I do have sympathy for their situation. I would hate to leave the place where I grew up because someone kicked me out. I think in a way that they are all at fault maybe they could have prevented it from happening maybe they couldn't it's kinda hard to tell with the information given.
ReplyDeleteI feel sympathy for them, but at the same time one must recognize that they borrowed money and did not repay it. They could not pay to keep living there. It's almost the same as if one's house were to go into foreclosure, because one stopped paying their monthly bills.
ReplyDeleteI have sympathy for them because they have to leave everything behind, and to not have any memories of your so called "home" must really be horrible. At the same time no one is to blame except for themselves because they were the ones who burrowed money and could not pay it back.
ReplyDeleteI agree it is horrible to let go of their "home." It makes you think about your family and how it would be like if you and your family were in that same situation
DeleteI don't think you have any sympathy for the farmers because this happens to hundreds of people in United States and all around world. Your sad in this book when you read it but when it happens every day you just glance away.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine just what they are going through. Being told that you can't live in your home no more, being told that they need to move out and find a different alternative. It's scary to think
